Pool salt calculator
Salt chlorinators need the salt level on their label: often 3,000–4,000 ppm, and 4,000–6,000 ppm for many Australian and mineral systems.
What next
- Pour the salt around the shallow end with the pump running and brush it until it dissolves.
- Wait 24 hours before turning the chlorinator back on, then test the salt again.
- Too much salt only comes down by replacing water, so add in steps if unsure.
